DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Embodiments of the present invention allow for the transformation of a document. A document is any piece of information available in electronic format. Transformation program receives a document to be transformed. The persona of the user is determined based on user input or a combination of browsing history, social media patterns and any other information available to the transformation program. The category of the document is then determined using key words and phrases found in the document. The relevance of the document to the persona of the user is determined. The document is then transformed so as to make the document easier to understand by the user based on their persona.

Some embodiments of the present invention recognize that in this age of content and information explosion, information can be received from multiple sources but each source will have a unique style of presentation better suited for certain users. The complexity of the content of documents is relative to the user who is viewing the content in the document. The content of the document can be modified to be more suitable for a specific user based on their persona.

The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the Figures. FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram illustrating a data processing environment, generally designated 100, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 provides only an illustration of one implementation and does not imply any limitations with regard to the systems and environments in which different embodiments may be implemented. Many modifications to the depicted embodiment may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention as recited by the claims.

An embodiment of data processing environment 100 includes computer 110, interconnected over network 102. Network 102 can be, for example, a local area network (LAN), a telecommunications network, a wide area network (WAN) such as the Internet, or any combination of the three, and include wired, wireless, or fiber optic connections. In general, network 102 can be any combination of connections and protocols that will support communications between computer 110 and any other computer connected to network 102, in accordance with embodiments of the present invention.

In example embodiments, computer 110 may be a laptop, tablet, or netbook personal computer (PC), a desktop computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a smart phone, or any programmable electronic device capable of communicating with any computing device within data processing environment 100. In certain embodiments, computer 110 collectively represents a computer system utilizing clustered computers and components (e.g., database server computers, application server computers, etc.) that act as a single pool of seamless resources when accessed by elements of data processing environment 100, such as in a cloud computing environment. In general, computer 110 is representative of any electronic device or combination of electronic devices capable of executing computer readable program instructions. Computer 110 may include components as depicted and described in further detail with respect to FIG. 6, in accordance with embodiments of the present invention.

Computer 110 includes transformation program 112, persona database 114, and vocabulary database 116. Transformation program 112 is a program, application, or subprogram of a larger program that transforms an original document to a version that is presented in a way easier to understand by a specific user based on their persona. Persona database 114 contains information about different personas, such as a description of the persona, personas that are similarly associated, persona categorization, and area(s) and level(s) of expertise in each of the category domains, etc. Vocabulary database 116 contains information about key words and phrases, the relevance of key words and phrases to a document category, changes or modifications that should be made to key words and phrases depending on their relevance to the document or a persona, etc.

Transformation program 112 receives an electronic document from a user. In an embodiment, the user, using a user interface discussed below, searches the internet via network 102 for a document and then indicates to transformation program 112 the document they want transformed. In an alternative embodiment, the user submits a document they already have on computer 110 directly to transformation program 112. A document may be any electronic document containing words and/or images about a subject. Transformation program 112 determines the user's persona using information submitted by the user including a profile/preferences, browsing patterns on the Internet, social media participation. Transformation program 112 determines the document category by scanning words or phrases from the document and, using vocabulary database 116, determines the category of the document (i.e., medical document, computer engineering document, etc.). Transformation program 112 determines the relevance of the words in the document to the category of the document and the user's persona. Transformation program 112 then transforms the document so that the document is shortened, lengthened, or an appendix/annotations is added to the document so that the document is easier to understand by the specific user that the document is being transformed for.

A user interface (not shown) is a program that provides an interface between a user and transformation program 112. A user interface refers to the information (such as graphic, text, and sound) a program presents to a user and the control sequences the user employs to control the program. There are many types of user interfaces. In one embodiment, the user interface may be a graphical user interface (GUI). A GUI is a type of user interface that allows users to interact with electronic devices, such as a keyboard and mouse, through graphical icons and visual indicators, such as secondary notations, as opposed to text-based interfaces, typed command labels, or text navigation. In computer, GUIs were introduced in reaction to the perceived steep learning curve of command-line interfaces, which required commands to be typed on the keyboard. The actions in GUIs are often performed through direct manipulation of the graphics elements.

Persona database 114 and vocabulary database 116 reside on computer 110. In another embodiment, persona database 114 and vocabulary database 116 may reside on another device or computer within data processing environment 100 or any other device not within data processing environment 100, accessible via network 102. A database is an organized collection of data. Data found in a database is typically organized to model relevant aspects of reality in a way that supports processes requiring the information found in the database. Persona database 114 and vocabulary database 116 can be implemented with any type of storage device capable of storing data that may be accessed and utilized by computer 110, such as a database server, a hard disk drive, or a flash memory. In other embodiments, persona database 114 and vocabulary database 116 can be implemented with multiple storage devices within computer 110.

Alternatively, persona database 114 and vocabulary database 116 can be implemented with any computer readable storage medium as found in the art. For example, the computer readable storage medium can be a tangible device that can retain and store instructions for use by an instruction execution device. The computer readable storage medium may be, for example, but is not limited to, an electronic storage device, a magnetic storage device, an optical storage device, an electromagnetic storage device, a semiconductor storage device, or any suitable combination of the foregoing. A non-exhaustive list of more specific examples of the computer readable storage medium includes the following: a portable computer diskette, a hard disk, a random access memory (RAM), a read-only memory (ROM), an erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM or Flash memory), a static random access memory (SRAM), a portable compact disc read-only memory (CD-ROM), a digital versatile disk (DVD), a memory stick, a floppy disk, a mechanically encoded device such as punch-cards or raised structures in a groove having instructions recorded thereon, and any suitable combination of the foregoing.

Persona database 114 may include data relating to different personas, such as a description of the persona, personas that are similarly associated, persona categorization, and area(s) and level(s) of expertise in each of the category domains, etc. For example, persona database 114 may include data relating to an area of medicine, such as gastroenterology, including that gastroenterology is a branch of medicine focused on the digestive system and its disorders along with key words related to gastroenterology such as gastric-band, sleeve gastrectomy, duodenal switch, etc. Additionally, a persona has a level of expertise in a category of a document (on a scale of 1-3, where“3” indicates a highest level of expertise and “1” indicates a lowest level of expertise), for example a medical student has “2” level of expertise in the medical document category, a doctor that is a gastroenterologist has a “3” level of expertise, and a software engineer has a “1” level of expertise.

Vocabulary database 116 may include information related to key words and phrases, the relevance of key words and phrases to a document category, changes or modifications that should be made to key words and phrases depending on their relevance to the document and a persona, etc. In an embodiment, a predefined table or other conventional data organization, may be provided that includes key words and phrases and the changes or modifications that should be made for the key words and phrases depending on their relevance to the document and a persona. For example, vocabulary database 116 may include information about specific words, such as gastric-band and their relevance to a document category (on a scale of 0-3, where “3” indicates highest relevance for the key word in the specific category, “1” indicates lowest relevance for the key word in the specific category, “0” indicates no relevance for the key word) where gastric-band has a “2” relevance for a medical student, a “3” relevance for a doctor that is a gastroenterologist, and a “0” relevance for a software engineer. Additionally, vocabulary database 116 may include information about specific words, and their category of document, for example gastric-band has a “3” relevance for the medical document category and a “0” relevance for a computer engineering document category. In an embodiment, vocabulary database 116 is initially formed by supplying documents of various document categories and key words or phrases are extruded and categorized.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart of workflow 200 depicting operational steps for transforming a document, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. In one embodiment, the steps of the workflow are performed by transformation program 112. Alternatively, steps of the workflow can be performed by any other program while working with transformation program 112. In a preferred embodiment, a user, via a user interface discussed previously, can invoke workflow 200 upon determining that they would like to transform a document. In an alternative embodiment, workflow 200 can be invoked automatically under the control of another program, for example, upon the user searching for a document and the search result being sent to transformation program 112 to begin a step in workflow 200.

Transformation program 112 receives a document to transform (step S205). A user, using user interface discussed previously, will search for a document they would like transformed. In an embodiment, the user can use a search engine connected to the internet via network 102, choose a document from the search results, and the document will be sent directly to transformation program 112. In an alternative embodiment, the user has the document located on computer 110 and will indicate to transformation program 112 the location of the document. In yet another embodiment, transformation program 112 may be an add-on to a webpage and modify the electronic text displayed to the user on the webpage.

In an example, the user downloaded a technical document about weight loss achieved by reducing the size of the stomach with a gastric-band or through removal of a portion of the stomach. The user initiates transformation program 112, locates the document, and indicates to transformation program 112 that the document is the one to be transformed. In this example, the document contains the following sentence, “Weight loss is achieved by reducing the size of the stomach with a gastric-band or through removal of a portion of the stomach (sleeve gastrectomy or biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch) or by resecting and re-routing the small intestines to a small stomach pouch (gastric bypass surgery).” This example sentence will be used throughout the specification, however, transformation program 112 may transform the entire document.

Transformation program 112 determines the user's persona (step S210). As discussed previously, transformation program 112 determines the user's persona using information submitted by the user including a profile/preferences, browsing patterns, social media participation, characteristics of user's based on the region they reside in, and user's previous use of vocabulary. In an embodiment, using browsing patterns and social media participation, transformation program 112 extracts words or phrases from accessed websites and participation in social media and using the extracted words or phrases, matches them with words or phrases that are associated with different personas found in persona database 114, and determines a user's persona or combination of personas. For example, the user may have visited a website for their medical college along with posting on social media about upcoming classes and exams for medical school and transformation program 112 determines that the user is a medical student. In an alternative embodiment, transformation program 112 has a list of personas from persona database 114 that the user can choose from. For example, the user may indicate that they are a medical student. In another example, the user may indicate that they are a doctor-gastroenterologist or software engineer. In yet another alternative embodiment, transformation program 112 can allow the user to choose a plurality of personas from persona database 114 that most accurately describe the user.

Transformation program 112 determines the document category (step S215). In an embodiment, transformation program 112, after receiving the document that will be transformed, uses a document parser to parse and split the document into various pieces, i.e., paragraphs, sentences, and words. Each word can be classified as one or more of the following: nominal English words including nouns, verbs, etc.; general English terms; and special key words. Special key words and their definitions will be the largest contributing factor for determining the category of the document, the relevancy to the user's persona, and how the document will be transformed. Nominal English words (nouns, verbs, etc.) are not considered. As discussed previously, the words are categorized on their relevancy to a specific category of document on a scale of 0-3, where “3” indicates highest relevance for the key word in the category of document, “1” indicates a lowest relevance for the key word in the category of document, “0” indicates no relevance for the key word in the category of the document. As shown in FIG. 3, and discussed more in depth later, the relevancy factor of the words found in the document for each document category is totaled, and the document category with the highest total is determined to be the document category of the document. In an alternative embodiment, a document may have more than one document category.

Transformation program 112 determines the relevance of the document category to the user's persona (step S220). In other words, transformation program 112 determines if the persona of the user would indicate a higher or lower level of expertise in regards to the document category. As discussed previously, the level of expertise of the user's persona is categorized based on the relevancy to a specific category of document on a scale of 1-3, where “3” indicates highest level of expertise in the category of document and “1” indicates a lowest level of expertise in the category of document. As shown in FIG. 4, and discussed more in depth later, the expertise for each persona, relative to the document category, is indicated. Transformation program 112 determines what level of expertise the user has, based on their persona determined previously, relative to the category of the document, based on the document category determined previously.

Transformation program 112 transforms the document (step S225). In an embodiment, transformation program 112 can modify the document directly, so that the user will see a new document that is different than the original document. For example, key words can have sentences that define each of the key words. Also, phrases can be removed that are too basic for a person with a higher level of expertise. In an alternative embodiment, the user will see the original document and the document has a new appendix that is also included. The appendix will provide definitions for key words and expands on the information in the document, allowing for easier readability for the user based on their persona. As shown in FIG. 5, and discussed more in depth later, the degree of relevance of each word is determined with respect to the category to which the document belongs using the relevancy factor of the key word and the expertise of the person.

FIG. 3 depicts an example of key words or phrases found in the previously discussed example sentence from the document and their relevancy factor to different categories of expertise, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Table 300 shows the words found in the example sentence along with two example document categories, medical and computer engineering. The document or sentence (in this example) is categorized based on the sum of relevancy factor of key words for each category. In an embodiment, transformation program 112 will determine the document is in the category with the highest relevance. In an alternative embodiment, transformation program 112 will indicate at least two categories that are determined to be highly relevant and the user will choose which category they wish the document to be in. Table 300 indicates, using the example sentence, that the document would fall into the medical category due to its “18” relevancy rating as compared to the “1” relevancy rating of computer engineering.

FIG. 4 depicts an example of personas found, based on the key words found in the previously discussed example sentence and the level of expertise of the personas to different categories of documents, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Table 400 shows the three personas from the example, medical student, doctor of gastroenterology, and software engineer, along with two example document categories, medical and computer engineering. In the example, the software has a low level of expertise in the medical category, the medical student has a medium level of expertise in the medical category, and the doctor of gastroenterology has the highest level of expertise in the medical category. The software engineer has the highest level of expertise in computer engineering and both the medical student and doctor of gastroenterology have the lowest level of expertise in computer engineering.

FIG. 5 depicts an example of the degree of relevance of the key words with respect to the category to which the document belongs using the relevancy factor of the key word and the expertise of the person, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The degree of relevance is a function of relevancy factor of the key word, r(k), and the expertise of the person e(p). The letter “L” indicates no elaboration of that term or phrase is needed. The letter “M” indicates a brief explanation of that term or phrase is needed. The letter “H” indicates a detailed explanation for that term or phrase is needed. In an embodiment, transformation program 112 has the different levels of explanation (L, M, H) pre-programmed and they are updated by transformation program 112 upon responses from users on their accuracy. For example, if a user with the persona of a software engineer determined that they did not understand a key word or phrase and transformation program 112 had that word or phrase as an “L”, the user could indicate to transformation program 112 that the word or phrase should be changed to an “M” or “H”.

In an alternative embodiment, the degree of relevance can be determined using the following algorithm scenario. In scenario 1, if e(p), the expertise of the person, equals 3, i.e. the highest level of expertise, then the degree of relevance is Low (L) for any value of r(k), the relevancy factor of the key word. If scenario 1 is not fulfilled, then in scenario 2, if e(p) is less than r(k) then the degree of relevance is High (H). If scenario 1 and scenario 2 is not fulfilled, then in scenario 3, if e(p) equals r(k), then the degree of relevance is Medium (M). If scenario 1, scenario 2, and scenario 3 is not fulfilled then the degree of relevance is Low (L).

Table 500 shows the key words found in the example sentence along with three personas, medical student, doctor of gastroenterology, and software engineer. In this example, the document is a medical category of document from which the example sentence, discussed previously, was extracted from. The key word “re-routing” has a relevancy factor of “2” in the specified medical category (see FIG. 3). For a medical student, the expertise of the user is “2” for the medical category and therefore a medical student needs “M”, a brief explanation of the term “re-routing”. For a doctor of gastroenterology, the expertise of the person is “3” and therefore a doctor of gastroenterology needs “L”, no elaboration of the term “re-routing”. For a software engineer, the expertise of the person is “1” and therefore a software engineer needs a detailed elaboration of the term “re-routing”.

As discussed previously, the following example sentence was part of the example document for the user. “Weight loss is achieved by reducing the size of the stomach with a gastric-band or through removal of a portion of the stomach (sleeve gastrectomy or biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch) or by resecting and re-routing the small intestines to a small stomach pouch (gastric bypass surgery).” In the example, if the user's persona is a medical student, the medical student may need a high level of elaboration of the key word “gastric-band” and the following phrase may be inserted, “commonly called a lap-band, A band, or LAGB, is an inflatable silicone device placed around the top portion of the stomach to treat obesity, intended to slow consumption of food and thus reduce the amount of food consumed.” In an alternative example, if the user's persona is a doctor of gastroenterology, then they need no elaboration of the word and the word gastric-band would require no modification. In yet another alternative example, if the user's person is a software engineer, then they need a high level of elaboration of the word and the word gastric-band might have the following phrase after it, “commonly called a lap-band, A band, or LAGB, is an inflatable silicone device placed around the top portion of the stomach to treat obesity, intended to slow consumption of food and thus reduce the amount of food consumed.” In an alternative embodiment, the phrases being added may be in an appendix form, as discussed previously.

FIG. 6 depicts a block diagram of components of computer 110, in accordance with an illustrative embodiment of the present invention. It should be appreciated that FIG. 6 provides only an illustration of one implementation and does not imply any limitations with regard to the environments in which different embodiments may be implemented. Many modifications to the depicted environment may be made.

Computer 600 includes communications fabric 602, which provides communications between computer processor(s) 604, memory 606, persistent storage 608, communications unit 610, and input/output (I/O) interface(s) 612. Communications fabric 602 can be implemented with any architecture designed for passing data and/or control information between processors (such as microprocessors, communications and network processors, etc.), system memory, peripheral devices, and any other hardware components within a system. For example, communications fabric 602 can be implemented with one or more buses.

Memory 606 and persistent storage 608 are computer readable storage media. In this embodiment, memory 606 includes random access memory (RAM) 614 and cache memory 616. In general, memory 606 can include any suitable volatile or non-volatile computer readable storage media. Software and data 622 are stored in persistent storage 608 for access and/or execution by processors 604 via one or more memories of memory 606. With respect to computer 110, software and data 622 includes transformation program 112, persona database 114, and vocabulary database 116.

In this embodiment, persistent storage 608 includes a magnetic hard disk drive. Alternatively, or in addition to a magnetic hard disk drive, persistent storage 608 can include a solid state hard drive, a semiconductor storage device, read-only memory (ROM), erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM), flash memory, or any other computer readable storage media that is capable of storing program instructions or digital information.

The media used by persistent storage 608 may also be removable. For example, a removable hard drive may be used for persistent storage 608. Other examples include optical and magnetic disks, thumb drives, and smart cards that are inserted into a drive for transfer onto another computer readable storage medium that is also part of persistent storage 608.

Communications unit 610, in these examples, provides for communications with other data processing systems or devices. In these examples, communications unit 610 may include one or more network interface cards. Communications unit 610 may provide communications through the use of either or both physical and wireless communications links. Software and data 622 may be downloaded to persistent storage 608 through communications unit 610.

For example, I/O interface 612 may provide a connection to external devices 618 such as a keyboard, keypad, a touch screen, and/or some other suitable input device. External devices 618 can also include portable computer readable storage media such as, for example, thumb drives, portable optical or magnetic disks, and memory cards. Software and data used to practice embodiments of the present invention, e.g., transformation program 112, can be stored on such portable computer readable storage media and can be loaded onto persistent storage 608 via I/O interface(s) 612. I/O interface(s) 612 also can connect to a display 620.

Display 620 provides a mechanism to display data to a user and may be, for example, a computer monitor. Display 620 can also function as a touch screen, such as a display of a tablet computer.

The programs described herein are identified based upon the application for which they are implemented in a specific embodiment of the invention. However, it should be appreciated that any particular program nomenclature herein is used merely for convenience, and thus the invention should not be limited to use solely in any specific application identified and/or implied by such nomenclature.

The present invention may be a system, a method, and/or a computer program product. The computer program product may include a computer readable storage medium (or media) having computer readable program instructions thereon for causing a processor to carry out aspects of the present invention.
